👾 Interesting tools

Interesting tools are recommended or widely used by other makers. Here is my top pick this week.

Keywords Everywhere — Chrome & Firefox browser extension that gives you search volume, search trends, and related terms to your query.

What we like: Type away on Google, and the browser extension instantaneously gives you information about your search such as search volume info, trends, and related terms. I love it because it's really simple and useful. It's not free, but you get 100k credits for $1,25/month!

KatLinks — Monitor everything about your SEO, in an affordable, and simple-to-use way!

What we like: @robertodigital_ made this tool precisely for you, bootstrappers! Katlinks is great for monitoring everything about your SEO, such as keyword ranking, backlink tracking, and so on. Honestly, it's great if you're betting on this marketing channel, without heavily relying on it.

Apollo — Powerful sales enrichment platform.

What we like: Apollo is one of the biggest sales tools out there, so it might seem out of reach. But, I recently discovered that while being powerful with a gigantic database to tap into, you can collect up to 10,000 emails per month with the free version. Plus, you can use lots of filters to target the perfect leads for you. One thing you'll miss is filtering through recent funding or narrower signals. But the features are enough for a solo maker, and if not the Basic Plan costs $49/month.
